Greetings from no snow country! Argh! The warm weather and
rain really played havoc on the winter conditions up north.
The snow is pretty much vanished. We did get a bit last night.
The ice conditions on the lakes have deteriorated but they are
still fishing. No motorized vehicles as there is about 4
inches of ice. Wayne's friend caught a lovely 31 inch Walleye.
What a beaut!

I guess the weather is somewhat immaterial right now as
everyone is hustling and bustling to get ready for the holiday
season. Soon it will be here. I am progressing along getting
all my stuff done.

Last Sat we hosted the State Bank of Drummond Christmas Party.
All went well! I believe everyone had a nice time. The food
went well, the music was great (thanks Ryan) and the beverages
were plentiful...and oh course dancing was in full force.
Thanks girls (Donna, Sam. and Mel) for choosing us to host
your party.

Bowling this week was fun. I bowled fairly well with games of
188, 121 and 158. We played the first place team and took 5
out of 7 points I believe. Hard to remember what happened 2
days ago. Argh again!

Pool was fun as usually. Ken and Larry both won all 4 games
and Ken was the winner in the shoot out. Remember all (and I
mean everyone) is invited to our annual Employee/ Pool league
Christmas Party Thursday at 6 p. m. It is a very fun night. We
play pool, cribbage and drink, eat and be merry!

My condolences to the Rich Homich family of Iron River as he
passed away last Friday.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Mike as he is awaiting
surgery and too all those in need: My Mom, my uncle, my
brother's extended family and all those facing health
problems, social problems and holiday blues. Keep the faith.
Remember the real reason for the season.

There is still availability at the Motel for the Holidays.
Call to place your reservations as rooms are filling up.
Remember our nightly specials and happy hour Monday-Friday.
Lore is here on Wednesday nights for your listening and
dancing pleasure.

Go Pack go Pack! Next week is the Superbowl for the 2nd time
this year. Go Pack, go Pack and they play Thursday night. Same
night as our party. It should be a real Superbowl :-)

That's about it for this week.....Have a lovely stressful
week!

Hugs to all!!!

Sharon
